Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention is similar to a facsimile storage and exchange system in which the contents of a plurality of original documents are inputted and memorized, and then the stored contents are read out and sent to a plurality of documents. The present invention relates to a device H that is output as a manuscript.

Therefore, in order to make it easier to see, the operator must change the order of the originals so that the original P1 comes first and the original P5 comes last. was.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional facsimile storage and exchange system, when inputting and outputting multiple originals, the original content (image data) is stored in the order in which the originals are input, and the image data is stored in the order in which the originals are stored. In order to read and output the same, the page order of the document on the sending side facsimile terminal and the page order of the output document on the receiving side facsimile terminal are reversed. Therefore, in order to make the received documents easier to view, the operator must rearrange the order of the received documents, which is time consuming. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks and provides a data writing/reading method that can obtain an output document having the same page order as the input document.

[Configuration of the Invention (Means for Solving Problems)] The present invention comprises an input means for inputting the contents of a manuscript as image data page by page, and image data inputted to this input means is sequentially accumulated page by page. a writing means for writing into the storage section; a reading means for reading out page-by-page image data from the storage section in the reverse order of writing; and an output means for printing out the read-out image data on a page-by-page basis in the reading order. A well-equipped method is adopted.

(Operation) In the data writing/reading method of the present invention, the input means sequentially inputs the contents of the manuscript page by page as image data. The writing means sequentially writes the image data on a page-by-page basis into the storage section.a The reading means reads out the image data on a page-by-page basis from the storage section in the reverse order of writing, and provides the read-out image data to the output means. The output means prints out the input image data page by page in the reading order. As a result, the page order of the input document matches the page order of the output document.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, in which the same parts as those of the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a facsimile storage and forwarding system to which the old data reading method of the present invention is applied. 1
is a storage and forwarding device that temporarily stores received data and then transmits it.
A storage unit 11 that stores image data, a central processing unit 12 that controls writing and reading of image data, and transmission and reception of image data! It consists of a communication control device M13 that performs control.

21 to 2n are facsimile terminals connected to the storage and forwarding device 1; 4 is the storage and forwarding device 1 and facsimile terminals 21 to 2;
It is a communication line network that connects

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. For example, a case will be described in which a plurality of documents are transmitted from the facsimile terminal 21 to the facsimile terminal 2n via the storage/exchange device 1. A plurality of documents are set on the facsimile terminal 21 on the sending side, a destination (in this case, the facsimile terminal 2°) is designated, and communication with the storage and forwarding device 1 is started. At the start of communication, image data from the facsimile terminal 21 is received by the communication control device 13 via the communication line network 4, and the received image data is passed to the central processing section 12. The central processing section 12 stores the input image data of the contents of the first document in the data area 1 of the storage section 11 shown in FIG. 2, and stores the contents of the second document in the data area 2.
Mill them in order. At this time, the central processing unit 12 stores information on the number of manuscripts to be taken in and taken out in its own memory or the like.

After that, the central processing unit 12 uses the data area n-1 of the storage unit 11 based on the information on the number of inscribed manuscripts (n sheets).
n-2 . The communication control device 13 transmits the image data passed from the central processing section 12 to the destination facsimile terminal 2° via the communication line network 4. Therefore, the facsimile terminal 2° on the receiving side outputs the received manuscript in the order from the last page to the first page of the manuscript.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the input/output order of originals in this embodiment.

Send documents 1 to the facsimile terminal 21 in the order of P1 to P5.
If you enter 0, the facsimile terminal 2o will send P5 to P.
The received documents 20 are output in the order of 1.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing in the storage and forwarding device 1 described above. First, in step 101, it is determined whether or not image data is to be transmitted. If it is to be transmitted, the process goes to step 102; otherwise, the process goes to step 103. In step 103, it is determined whether or not image data has been received;
If it is not a reception, the process returns to step 101; if it is a reception, the process goes to step 101. In step 104, connection procedure processing with the sending facsimile terminal is performed, and in step 10
After the pointer counter indicating the data area of the storage section 11 is incremented by +1 in step 5, the image data of the received document is written in the data area indicated by this pointer in step 106. In step 107, it is determined whether or not there is a next page. If there is, the process returns to step 105; if there is not, the process ends. On the other hand, in step 102, the procedure for connecting with the destination facsimile terminal is performed, and then in step 108, the number of pages of the document to be transmitted is substituted into a variable P. Next, in step 109, the area of the storage unit 11 where the P-th page of the manuscript is written is accessed, the image data is read out, and the image data is transmitted to the destination facsimile terminal. After P is decremented by 1 in step 110, it is determined in step 111 whether or not P is greater than O. If P is greater, the process returns to step 109, and if it is 0, the process is terminated.

According to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the originals are output from the receiving side facsimile terminal 2° in the reverse order of the originals input to the sending side facsimile terminal 21, so that the received originals are The same page order as the transmitted original can be maintained during output. Therefore, there is no need to change the page order of the original, and work efficiency can be improved.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the data writing/reading method of the present invention, an output manuscript having the same page order as the input manuscript can be obtained.
